The last few weeks I have been reviewing the Kirkland mix box, including the Kirkland Pilsner (reviewed here - http://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2020/08/sunday-night-suds-kirkland-pilsner.html), the Kirkland IPA (reviewed here - http://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2020/09/sunday-night-suds-kirkland-ipa.html) and this week - the Session IPA. There is a fourth beer, but since this is the last SNS until after Sukkos (as three of the next four Sundays are holidays and the only non-holiday is Erev Yom Kippur), it will have to wait until October
The Kirkland Session IPA poured a rich dark yellow, almost golden, with mild carbonation, but not too weak. Although this is a session beer, the alcohol content was not low as it is 4.9% abv. The hops and pine were very present and again were a bit surprising for a "session" beer. There is an abundance of citrus and you would think this was a "juice added" beer, but there was no flavoring involved. This beer was more solid than I was expecting and would go well with roasted yom tov chicken dishes.
The Kirkland beers are brewed by Gordon Biersch which also brews the Trader Joe's beers which are under kosher supervision All of the Gordon Biersch kosher certified beers are under the Va'ad of Detroit.

As always, please remember to drink responsibly and to never waste good beer unless there is no designated driver.
